Cingular Reception Question - Treo Forum

agsnyc · 06-14-2007, 03:15 PM

I just converted to Cingular from Verizon to get GSM so I don't have to have 2devices (one for US, one for travel). I live in NYC. Many callers have told me that their reception of me (i.e., hearing my voice) is frequently tinny and broken up. On the other hand, I generally have good reception (i.e., my hearing them), without the dropouts. My question: Does this sound like a Cingular network issue (my guess: no, since I have no trouble hearing), a Treo microphone problem (defective?), or something which is curable by using a wireless headset?

Thanks

Having heard various reports of this problem, I'm beginning to think that it may be a Treo specific issue, but only with some of them. I personally have never had this issue, and have had both a 650 and 680 on Cingular. Some have reported success increasing their perceived volume using applications like VolumeCare. There is a trial version available, and should be worth looking into. Let us know if this helps, or if you find any other solutions.
